A woman was killed in Jackson Saturday morning when she was shot after hitting a patrol car and attempting to run over officers, according to the Jackson Police Department.

Responding to reports of a vehicle that forced another motorist off the road, an officer stopped the suspect vehicle around 7:30 a.m., JPD spokesman Sgt. Roderick Holmes said.

JPD says after stopping the vehicle driven by Crystalline Barnes, 21, the officer requested an additional unit for assistance. Barnes then attempted to leave the scene. She made a u-turn to evade the other responding officer, then later stopped and began driving in reverse toward the officer who had exited the patrol vehicle. The officer fired into the vehicle before jumping out of the way and Barnes' vehicle collided with the patrol vehicle.

Barnes drove forward again toward the initial officer who also fired into the vehicle, JPD said. Barnes' vehicle then collided with a utility pole. It remains unclear what led to the her actions.

As a part of standard procedure, both officers were placed on administrative leave with pay. Two separate investigations, both internal and criminal, will take place in order to determine whether any department polices or any laws have been violated.
